CMakeFindDependencyMacro

find_dependency

The find_dependency() macro wraps a find_package() call for a package dependency:

find_dependency(<dep> [...])

It is designed to be used in a Package Configuration File (<package>Config.cmake). find_dependency forwards the correct parameters for QUIET and REQUIRED which were passed to the original find_package() call. Any additional arguments specified are forwarded to find_package().

If the dependency could not be found it sets an informative diagnostic message and calls return() to end processing of the calling package configuration file and return to the find_package() command that loaded it.

Note

The call to return() makes this macro unsuitable to call from Find Modules.
